I L L - N I T

 

That's optimistic.

Lol tell the Ohio St kids who are chanting it.

One of my friends tried telling me that this Mizzou team was better than the 04-05 Illini team. Yeah, about that.

 

I've seen people like Gasaway call them comparable offensively.

I don't believe so.

Let's go Northwestern!

:roll: Not even close to as good a team.

I didn't say they were, and Gasaway(Big Ten Wonk and Illinois grad) was making a comparison of style as much as performance, but it's been out there so I can see how people could come to the distorted conclusion that he's saying the two are equivalent teams.

[gflore34]

good, so hopefully they'll stay away from Shaka!

I'd rather have Stevens than Shaka.

 

 

Be Stevens or Smart one of their fist goals should be locking up Parker. Amongst many other items I believe Bruce failed miserably on the recruiting path. Next Illini coach has got to secure Chicago.

I kinda don't like Tim Hardaway Jr.

They actually remind me of the good Villanova team from a few years back.

Tim Hardaway Jr. 3/10 shooting 2/7 FT. Missed 5 consecutive FTs. An he's been taking every shot during a critical stretch for UM

K-State plays the most obnoxious brand of basketball imaginable, it's borderline shameful.

 

Missouri's defense is a combination of illegal hand checks and flopping. It's no prettier than KSU's.

 

No, it's far worse. This game has been Frank Martin's dream, just throw bodies everywhere, pick up the pieces for rebounds/points where you can, and hope the officials don't have the spine to call 40 fouls on one team.

 

No, it's not far worse. Mizzou's guards hack non stop. English hacks constantly down low, but refs don't seem to call it because he's so much smaller than his defender. And Missouri flop flops flops on the plays they don't hand check.

 

If I had to watch one team play, however, I'd pick Missouri because they actually run an offense.

 

 

Well yeah, I'd describe the way my rival plays defense much the same way(although substitute the "English hacking/flopping" for "Big men murderizing anyone who enters the paint"). K-State's ugliness is a bit more statistically backed, they foul the bejeezus out of everyone, and attempt the offensive equivalent of murder by butter knife with the awful shooting and hammering on the offensive glass.

 

Sucks that Mizzou can't beat that. Guess it pays to have depth and some better big men who can rebound.

Yes, it does pay, but a 2 seed in a season where they have six players will make up for it.

[Guest]

lol, sick burn

 

The near entirety of your posts from the last 6 months have been variations of "Mizzou sucks", congratulations on reaching parody status.

[da bears]

Congrats to ksu. Mizzou just does not match up well with them.

Congrats on being swept by KSU in your last year in the Big 12, and on now being down 3 games in the all time series.

A 2 seed means jack [expletive]... make a Sweet 16 and then brag.

[UMFan83]

Tim Hardway Jr. is letting NU get to the NCAAs. What a swell guy.

 

Edit: of course as I say that he hits one.

Michigan isn't even trying in this game and somehow only down three.

nah they are trying. This is their typical road effort.

Whoosh.

[Flames24Rulz]

Typical Northwestern.

[sneakypower]

huh, strangely absent right now is one of umfan's idiotic rants about attempting too many 3 pointers

[ConstableRabbit]

Where the hell is Crawford? Hurt?

Whoosh.

I guess 2 teams have won in Columbia this year, and one is undefeated... sorry it hurts so much! Also sorry that only one team this year has beat 2 top 10 teams on the road in back to back games. Say what you want about Frank Martin, but this style of basketball has been going on for 5 years now. You should be use to it. Oh, and Frank has made an elite 8. We'll be MUCH better next year playing with Sophomores and Juniors as opposed to a team that plays a majority of Freshmen and Sophomores. Too bad you'll be too far gone to see it.

[hawkeyecub]

Good job Michigan. Keep Northwestern out of the tournament. Forever.
